Splinterlands art contest | Kiara Lightbringer
Hello community, I hope you had a beautiful weekend.
Today I want to show you my last drawing which is also part of my entry to the @Splinterlands art contest for this week, this time I chose to do something totally opposite to my style which is usually more dark and dramatic and I think Kiara Lightbringer was the perfect card to get out of this comfort zone, although I admit that in the future I would like to make a dark version of this card, for now I wanted to explore a little this color palette and a quite striking and colorful composition, this card seems to me very tender and I really wanted to reflect that, I wanted to make her in a more adult age and with an angelic face, I hope you like it.
I started my idea thinking about a portrait since it is something I do very well, I made some clouds in the background and a quick sketch of the rainbow, I chose a palette of colors to paint, this time I painted with a fairly light skin tone base and then I started adding more layers to apply more colors and shape the face, I started with a diffuse brush and then used a hard brush to add all these shades.
I blurred the skin with a hard brush and low opacity and then pass the diffuse brush to blend the colors even better and give softness to the skin, for the hair I used an ocher base color, and then I started to give highlights of a blonde tone and some shadows with dark brown, to paint the clothes I used purple and pink, I wanted to stay true to the color of the costume because I love these two tones combined, after finishing the clothes and the headband, I started to paint a necklace with a star on the pendant, I thought it was a pretty nice detail.
The eyes looked very nice but they still looked very dark compared to the original card so I applied a new layer with blending mode adjustments where I started to highlight the intense blue of the eyes and applied a little more blush to the face, for the background I started to paint some clouds, however, the direction of the clouds in the sketch I made didn't make much sense so I did it on the opposite side, I started to paint a rainbow behind her, then I drew a small star that I wanted to place in the background but, experimenting a little, I liked how some stars looked in front, finally I applied a slight color adjustment and highlighted some parts of the drawing.

She's all grown up here! I believe this card was based off the ideas (or indeed) one of aggy's kids.
I think this is the best version of this character i have seen done yet. Excellent work.
